Living With Parkinson’s Disease
Marios Politis 2
The key to living with Parkinson’s disease is to exercise regularly, make healthy decisions and take any prescribed medication.
To live with Parkinson’s disease, it is necessary to:
Manage Symptoms
Symptoms vary from physical tremors to emotional issues such as depression and an inability to make decisions. Understanding the symptoms makes it easier to anticipate and work with or around them.
Medications are provided by the neurological team and should be taken as instructed to minimize the effects of the disease.
Make Lifestyle Changes
Key lifestyle changes are a change of diet and increased exercise. Both contribute to better mental and physical fitness, reducing the progression speed of Parkinson’s.
Take Prescribed Medications
Medications are provided by the neurological team and should be taken as instructed to minimize the effects of the disease.
Have a Strong Support Network
The support of friends and those that understand is essential. Everyone with Parkinson’s needs people to talk to.
